I was the first voter in my precinct this morning, my husband was the second. The third person in line was asked if she was a Republican or a Democrat. She said neither. They told her that she would only be able to vote on the referendum issue. Then she admitted that she was a Democrat…

I wonder if she was aware of the difference between a [tag]primary[/tag] and a general [tag]election[/tag]…

Liath hasn’t graced these pages before because it can be hard to get near her with a camera.

Liath means grey in Gaelic.

Liath has to share the house with several humans, two other cats and two dogs. She would be happiest if the other two cats and the two dogs would just disappear one day. Then she’d have the humans all to herself.

As a fan of the original series I am looking forward to this new BBC series of [tag]Dr. Who[/tag].

It starts tonight with two episodes on the [tag]SciFi Channel[/tag] at 9 EST.

It’s been on in England for a year, and seasons two and three have been ordered.

Liam was walking in the woods one day when he happened upon a napping Leprechaun, snuck up on him, and caught him.

Liam said, “Ah, I’ve got ye! Now ye’ve got to give me tree wishes!”

The Leprechaun said, “Aye, Liam. That ye have. But I must tell ye that whatever ye wish for, I will give Tom Flannery, who I know is yer worst enemy, double what you get.”

Liam thought about this a for a few minutes and said, “Okay Leprechaun, I’ve my tree wishes ready.
“For me first wish, I wish for a lovely ten room house.”

{poof!} there was a lovely ten room house. And {poof!} right next door, a lovely twenty room house with Tom on the front porch.

Tom said, “Ah Liam, me pal. I didn’t know you loved me so well!”

The leprechaun asked Liam what his second wish would be.

Liam said, “For me second wish, I wish for one of the most beautiful women in the world.”

{poof!} One of the most beautiful women in the world shows up next to Liam. {poof!poof!} Two of the most beautiful women in the world show up next to Tom.

Tom said, “Liam, whatever did I do to earn such wonderful gifts from you?”

The leprechaun said, “Well?”

Liam said, “For me third and final wish, I wish me desire for women cut by half.”

Ed Driscoll points us to a parody commercial starring [tag]Michael Bloomberg[/tag].

There was another shown on The [tag]Daily Show[/tag] that [tag]Brit Hume[/tag] replayed at the end of the show yesterday or the day before. Go to the Daily Show and choose “Couldn’t [tag]Hackett[/tag]” (the “campaign ad” is at the end (3:43)). One quote: “I believe we should take care of our environment. That’s why I’m standing in front of a river.”

Mr. Right, over at The Right Place has a great list of blogs in his Frequent Flyers Club (and we thank him for his inclusion of us).

He’s got a copy of that Debbie Stabenow with the poster picture. Go see it.

The Right Place has a lot of funny stuff.
